I mean, animal torture is pretty high there though.
See, thing is the are not things I've heard of more prominent people who would be easier targets of smear campaigns, like Bernie Sanders or AOC.
And then there's purity testing and holding any morals at all. Purity testing is completely dismissing AOC because of the railroad workers strike vote. Dismissing morals is supporting a talking head that financially benefits from saying things and tortures their pet for appearance purposes.
Not defending it, for sure. Still, though. It's a useful tool for a detractor to pounce on. So don't do that. Because don't hurt dogs , first of all, second that it's something that will be held against you and drown out what good you're trying to do.
With you on the purity tests.
